Although Scalia didn't comment on HM's specific abilities, either way, for him to comment at all, even in a general way is a lion's roar.

I see zero comment from Scalia on Miers, in this article. He's talking about John Roberts; not Miers. He's referring to the person replacing Rehnquist. Miers isn't replacing Rehnquist; she's replacing O'Connor.

does Scalia know Miers at all? where would Scalia have gotten any in depth knowledge of Miers from?

Precisely.
